Clinch
studs, also known as clinch bolts, are a type of fastener that is widely used
in various industries, including electronics, automotive, and aerospace. These
fasteners are designed to be self-clinching, which means they can be installed
into a thin sheet metal or plate without requiring any additional hardware or
tools. Clinch studs are a popular alternative to traditional threaded fasteners
since they can be easily installed using a press, and their installation
process does not cause any damage to the parent material. This makes them ideal
for applications where the sheet metal or plate is too thin to accommodate a
traditional fastener.
